Trump stands firm on Gaetz nomination for attorney general despite controversies

Donald Trump confirmed on Tuesday that he will not withdraw his nomination of Matt Gaetz as attorney general, despite ongoing controversies. Trump responded "No" when asked if he would reconsider Gaetz's candidacy during a press event in Texas. Gaetz faces multiple investigations, including a House Ethics Committee probe into allegations of sexual misconduct. He resigned from Congress shortly after Trump's nomination announcement, which ended the committee's ability to investigate him. The allegations include claims of payments for sex and encounters with a minor. Gaetz has denied all accusations, and the details of the investigations remain unclear, including whether findings will be made public.
